===Geocaching.com=== [[File:Logo Geocaching Emerald.png|thumb|Geocaching.com logo]] The largest site is Geocaching.com, owned by Groundspeak Inc., which began operating in late 2000. With a worldwide membership and a [[freemium]] business model, the website claims millions of caches and members in over 190 countries and all seven continents including Antarctica.<ref>{{cite web |title=Geocaching Newsroom's Geocaching Fast Facts |url=https://newsroom.geocaching.com/fast-facts |website=newsroom.geocaching.com}}</ref> Hides and events are reviewed by volunteer regional cache reviewers before publication. Free membership allows users access to coordinates, descriptions, and logs for some caches; for a subscription fee, users are allowed additional search tools, the ability to download large amounts of cache information onto their GPS at once, instant email notifications about new caches, and access to premium-member-only caches (although, you can still access such caches on the website itself; the premium cache restriction only applies to the application).<ref>[http://www.geocaching.com/premium/ Geocaching.com's Premium Membership Benefits] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150810015308/http://www.geocaching.com/premium/ |date=August 10, 2015}} Retrieved June 25, 2013.</ref> Geocaching Headquarters are located in the [[Fremont, Seattle|Fremont]] neighborhood of [[Seattle]], Washington, United States.<ref>{{cite news |last=Schlosser |first=Kurt |date=August 19, 2022 |title=No hiding from its popularity: At 20, Geocaching still seeks to turn players on to worldwide game |url=https://www.geekwire.com/2022/no-hiding-from-its-popularity-at-20-geocaching-still-seeks-to-turn-players-on-to-worldwide-game/ |work=[[GeekWire]] |access-date=August 20, 2022}}</ref>
